Memories of other times

19 July 2014 · by  Fr. Ernesto Leave a Comment

For those of you who have served in Latin America, the comic above will bring memories, both the main character and the situation. Condorito asks the driver whether the passage costs 500 pesos. The driver answers that it is the capacity of the bus. A “plop” is standard at the end of every Condorito comic. […]

16 July 2014 · by  Fr. Ernesto 2 Comments

There are many people who are asking why can we not immediately return the children crossing over the border. Even if they are not from Mexico, why can we not simply put them on an airplane and return them to Guatemala or El Salvador or wherever? Well, it is because we are a country of […]

Humorous videos on remarks Latinos receive

15 July 2014 · by  Fr. Ernesto 2 Comments

Enjoy the funny video above. It gets across the point about how people of other cultures are often addressed. The phrases used are not purposefully insulting. In fact, the people think that they are being friendly. But, when you hear the phrases in the comedic setting of the video, you will see how they come […]

A Federal government worker’s frustration

13 July 2014 · by  Fr. Ernesto 3 Comments

Since the 1960’s the size of the federal workforce has dropped dramatically relative to the U.S. population. While the population has grown 65% since the 1960’s, the private sector workforce rose 125% and the federal workforce grew by just 9%. I am a Federal government worker. I am paid to fulfill the “sacred” duty of […]

On protecting children

12 July 2014 · by  Fr. Ernesto Leave a Comment

Malia Obama went to a famous L.A. restaurant Monday night — a restaurant regularly frequented by celebs and paparazzi — and when the White House found out a photog took her pic, they went into DEFCON 1 to KILL the photos. The 16-year-old went to Gjelina in Venice, CA with some friends.  The photog got […]

When scientific logic is not valid

11 July 2014 · by  Fr. Ernesto Leave a Comment

The above argument demonstrates the difference between a causal relationship and a casual relationship. The argument above tries to claim that ice causes major organ failure. The reality is that the relationship is only casual. While it is true that ice is present in every one of the mixed drinks, were a scientific test to […]

Glenn Beck and how to behave like a Christian

10 July 2014 · by  Fr. Ernesto 1 Comment

  I generally do not agree with Glenn Beck on many issues. But, I am very impressed with how he has handled the immigration of children issue. On June 25, he announced a new program that all Christians should agree with. The Blaze reports it as: Beck has stated that the Obama administration is “directly […]

The real reason why Argentina and Germany are in the World Cup finals?

9 July 2014 · by  Fr. Ernesto Leave a Comment

Above is a nice photograph of Pope Francis (Argentina) and Pope Emeritus Benedict (Germany) praying together. At least some have wondered what they were really praying about. I mean, Argentina and Germany in the World Cup finals (soccer)? Brazil, the top seed and expected to be at the finals (and even win), was dismantled by […]
